COLLAR-STUD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 5, 1913.

Patented June 2, 1914:. Serial No. 759,194.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE Emviuu) F IGG, a sub ect of the King of Great Britain, and 5 resident of 715 Vellington street, in the city and district of Montreal, Province of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Collar-Studs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

The invention relates to improvements in collar studs, and the object of the invention is to devise a stud which will lie fiat at the back of the shirt band and be very co1nfortable for the wearer, besides being cheap to manufacture and of a durable nature, and it consists essentially of a piece of sheet metal. formed to sit in the back of a shirt band and hook in the back of a collar, the exact construction of this stud being set forth in detail hereinafter and shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the stud from the rear side. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the stud. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the stud. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a shirt band and collar, showing the bill of the hook in solid lines and the rest of the stud in dotted lines.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is the head of a substantially T-shaped plate of metal or other suitable material, said head being arc-shaped in longitudinal section to conform to the shape of the neck.

2 is the tail of the T, slightly offset from said head at 3, where it joins said head. The tail 2 terminates at its lower end in a curve or other suitable shape extending around to the hook 4 on the left hand side of said tail, the bill of said hook being twisted slightly out from the vertical line of said tail. 2.

It will now be seen that when the stud is inserted in the neck band of the shirt the tail will hang down below the stud hole and the head will be the means of keeping said stud in said stud hole. The tail being slightly offset stands out a little bit from the shirt, so it is very easy to hook the collar on, and, with a well laundried collar, the hook will prevent said collar from slipping, and it may here be noted that this hook is on the left side and collars are almost invariably buttoned around to the right side, therefore, the pull of said collar, in finally adjusting it on the shirt, will be against said hook which engages the collar band.

What I claim is:

l. A collar stud formed of a plate of metal in substantially T-shape, the tail of said T having a projection from one side thereof forming a hook, the bill of said hook being upturned and outwardly bent from alinement with said tail.

9.. A collar stud formed of a plate of metal in substantially T-shape having the head arc-shaped in longitudinal. section, the tail. slightly offset from said head, and an upwardly extending hook projection from the left hand side of said tail adjacent to the lower end thereof, the bill of said hook being outwardly bent from alineinent with said tail.

Signed at the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, this 27th day of February, 1913.
